Crockpot Baked Beans

If you love homemade baked beans but don't want to use anything canned, you're going to love these homemade Crockpot Baked Beans! They're easy and taste great!CROCKPOT BAKED BEANS1 lb dried navy beans8 ounces bacon, cut into small pieces1 onion, chopped2 C water (maybe more)1 1/4 C ketchup2 T molasses1 to 1 1/2 C brown sugar1/4 C yellow mustard3-4 T Worcestershire sauce1 T garlic powderSalt & pepper, to tasteNOTES: You may add more or less ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. I just found that, when the beans were nearly done, I needed to add more sweetness and tang. These measurements were to my liking, but feel free to adjust it to yours. Also, I started out with 2 1/2 C water, and I felt that there was too much liquid in them. Start with 2 C and add more during the day, if necessary. I also prepped all of the other ingredients the night before and put it all in a container in the fridge so that I could easily add everything quickly the next morning before work. I let my beans cook longer than the time suggested, and they were great!Soak the beans in water overnight. The next morning, drain the beans. Put the beans and the remaining ingredients into the crockpot. Cook the beans on low heat for 8-10 hours or until the beans are done and the sauce is thick.

Whenever I need cooked, shredded chicken for a recipe, I throw two or three chicken breasts into a pot of water. I add in seasonings that complement the dish I'm planning on making and cook about 20 minutes or until done. Then I cool it in the fridge until I'm ready to shred it. Quick and easy!
